Run cells and read outputs

  • Open a notebook with at least one code cell.
  • Keep the notebook toolbar visible.
  1. Select a code cell and run it with the per-cell run control.
  2. Use Run cell & advance to execute and move forward.
  3. Use Run all cells to execute top-to-bottom.
  4. Read each cell’s output block for stdout, rendered output, or error content.
  5. If needed, use Stop execution, Restart kernel, or Restart and run all.
  6. Open the Problems panel to inspect notebook-related issues when errors persist.
  7. Re-run affected cells after fixes.
  • Executed cells show updated execution count and output blocks.
  • Outputs appear under the correct cells, including errors when execution fails.
  • Kernel state returns to idle after successful runs.
  • Cell stays queued or running
  • Stop execution, restart kernel, and retry the run sequence in Executable cells.
  • Import/module errors appear
  • Check runtime package availability and rerun after installing dependencies in Notebooks.
  • Outputs seem stale or out of order
  • Run all cells from top to rebuild notebook state deterministically.
  • Problem details are unclear
  • Open the build log-style diagnostics surfaces (Problems and output sections) and inspect the full error text before retrying.
